Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.
The economy of the Philippines is the 4th largest economy in South East Asia and the 36th largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity according to the International Monetary Fund in 2009. Most industries are concentrated in the urban areas around Metro Manila, while Metro Cebu is also becoming an attraction for foreign and local investors. Mining also has great potential in the Philippines, which possesses significant reserves of chromite, nickel, and copper. Recent natural gas found off the islands of Palawan add to the country's geothermal, hydro, coal, and oil exploration energy reserves. This book studies various features of the Philippine economy including Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Philippine peso, Philippine Dealing Exchange, and Philippine internet.
